Dogs can be man’s best friend, but a poorly behaved dog can be a nuisance, and even a danger. Learn the proper techniques to train a dog.
狗是人们的好朋友，但是一条表现差劲的狗很令人讨厌，甚至给别人带来危险。学些合适的技巧来训练你的小狗吧。

Step 1: Be the leader
Establish yourself as the leader of the pack. This can be as simple as walking your dog on a leash. Dogs have a pack mentality and once your leadership is clear, you will have an easier time getting the responses you want.
第一步：当领导者
把你自己当做领导者。这可以简单到牵着去遛狗。狗有着思想上的控制，一旦你的领导地位明确了，负起责任来就会容易很多。

Step 2: Don't be too strict
Avoid being too strict too early in your training, which can have a negative effect on your dog. Observe your dog and learn about its behavior to better communicate with it.
第二步：不要太严格
在早期训练阶段不要太严格，太严格会对狗产生消极的影响。仔细观察你的狗，掌握些它的行为以便更好地和它交流。

Step 3: Reward good behavior
Reward your dog’s good behavior. When it obeys a command, such as “come,” "sit, " “fetch,” “stay,” or “stop barking,” praise your dog verbally, pet it, or give it a treat.
第三步：狗有好的表现要给予奖励
狗有好的表现要给予相应奖励。当它遵守命令，比如“来”，“做下”“取东西”“呆在原地”活着“不要叫”，要口头奖励你的狗，轻抚它，或者给它些好吃的。

Step 4: Ignore bad behavior
Ignore bad behavior. Don’t make the mistake of petting your dog if it jumps on you when you walk in the door. Instead, simply ignore it. This will break an association with barking or jumping and getting attention.
第四步：忽略不好的行为
忽略不好的行为。如果你一进屋，狗就扑到你身上来，不要轻拍它。应该忽略这种行为，这样就会使狗不会去叫或是跳起来引起注意。
Tip:Yelling may be interpreted as good attention by a dog. Many dogs interpret any attention as good attention.
小贴士：狗可能把你的训斥当做你正在关注它。许多狗都会把注意当做好事。

Step 5: Develop a routine
Maintain a training routine. It could be five or 10 minutes at a time, several times a week. Keeping a routine will help your dog develop good habits.
第五步：定期训练
定期训练。一周要训练几次，每次训练5到10分钟，定期训练会帮助狗形成好的习惯。

Step 6: Never ignore aggression
Never ignore signs of aggression in your dog. If it is prone to bite, growl, or curl its lip, the aggressive behavior must be addressed right away. Give a firm “NO” when the behavior is exhibited in a puppy. It’s never too early to start training your dog.
第六步：不要忽略狗的侵犯行为。
不要忽略狗的侵犯行为。如果它要咬，狂吠或是呲牙，这种侵犯行为必须马上制止。如果狗有这样的行为，要坚决的对它说“不”。尽早训练狗是应该的。
